Lichen is a type of plant that is usually found in the Tundra. It also is a type of fungi. A lichen is a symbiosis of a fungus and a photosynthetic organism, either a type of bacteria or a plant. The fungus provides protection for the photosynthetic joint of its being, and the bacteria provides energy for the fungus.
Lichens are 'dual' organisms. They consist of two (or more) different life-forms living together symbiotically in a more-or-less well defined body or thallus. The main partner is the fungus or mycobiont. The other partner is a green alga or a cyanobacterium (the photobiont).Many cyanobacteria are able to fix nitrogen which is an essential nutrient. In 10% of lichens (e.g. Collema and Leptogium) the photobiont is a cyanobacterium.ichens are named after the fungal partner. Placopsis gelida. The fungal partner provides a cosy, sheltered environment for the alga, protecting it to some extent from the elements and providing mineral nutrients.
